The Takeaway Festival Open Exhibition 2007

The Second Takeaway Festival is here!

The three day extravaganza of talks, workshops, performances and  
exhibitions returns for the 2nd time to the Dana Centre in London.  
The silent revolution goes on! Technology continues to quietly  
transform creative possibilities, social structures, communication  
networks and business opportunities. This time the festival is  
seeking more participation from undergraduates from degree courses  
across the country to showcase their work in the Dana Centre’s  
exhibition spaces.

What are we looking for?

This is open to all 2nd and 3rd year undergraduates of Digital Media,  
Digital Arts and Fine Art (with digital media),at UK colleges and  
those artists who graduated in 2006. Students on other sorts of  
course using digital media may also be eligible. Student group  
projects are also acceptable.

The Takeaway Festival tries to identify the changing interfaces  
between technology and practice. It celebrates a D-I-Y praxis that is  
infusing the creative landscape and challenging the status quo of top  
down software and proprietary licensing.
We want to put on an exhibition of student work that is ground  
breaking and original, that finds interesting solutions for old  
problems and that demonstrates new relationships between technology  
and other media.
If this describes your work, please make a submission as soon as you  
can.

A SILENT REVOLUTION IS TAKING PLACE
More and more people are transforming themselves from media consumers  
to producers - using the new tools, software and technologies now at  
their disposal. From the expanding realm of free and open source  
software (FLOSS), to peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution and 'pervasive'  
mobile and locative technologies, the possibilities exist as never  
before to create and disseminate our opinions and experiences through  
our own media. TAKEAWAY, the Festival of do it yourself Media, will  
help you to understand what it's all about and how to take part in  
the revolution.
